The latest Israeli atrocity against supply ships for the suffering people of Gaza once again shows the Israeli state's brutal attitude against Palestinians. Patriarch Ignatios Zaka I Iwas, Pope Shenouda III and other Church leaders in the region have long explained that no peace will come to the Middle East without a just settlement of the problems of the Palestinian people. We pray for this, for a peace in which the Israelis realise that they are not victims, but that the Palestinians have been since 1948.
